Biography
Carl-Heinrich von Stulpnagel was born on 2 January 1886 in Berlin, Prussia, German Empire. He was a general staff officer in World War I before serving in the Reichswehr in the Interwar Years, and in 1935 he said that anti-Bolshevism and anti-Semitism were the same in a memorandum. In 1937, he became a Major-General of the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany, and from 1940 to 1941 he led the German 17th Army during World War II. He won the Battle of Uman and Battle of Kiev against the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa, but he was secretly involved with the German Resistance. Caesar von Hofacker served as Stulpnagel's liaison to Claus von Stauffenberg, and the two planned out the July 20 bomb plot against Adolf Hitler. He tried to escape and shot himself in the head, but he succeeded only in blinding himself. While being interrogated by the Nazis, he shouted "Rommel" in delirium, revealing Erwin Rommel's involvement in the plot. On 30 August 1944, he was executed by Hitler for his treason.
